This weekend, the European Le Mans Series kicked off with its pre-season test @ Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, France. The Luc Alphand team broke cover with its 2 [for the first time] C6R's, having finally retired the C5 chassis. Note the new liveries.

#72 drivers- Luc Alphand, Guillaume Moreau
#73 drivers- Roland Berville, Jean Luc Blanchemain, Sebastien Dumez

The LA cars were atop the Day 1 GT1 sheet with almost identical times- #72 @ 1:55.073, #73 @ 1:55.105. But, with Day 2, the Labre Saleen was faster, #72 in 2nd, and the Gulf-liveried ProDrive AM moving ahead of #73 as of the last published report. Testing continues. 2 other cars of interest were the non-GT1 Astons- the AM powered LMP1 [with GT1 power] and the AM Vantage GT2.
